The Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome is a subscription offered by thatdailydeal.com. They send a variety of random items that should exceed the cost of the subscription and every month one subscriber wins a SUPER box with a really expensive item in it. What will you receive in your mystery box? It’s a complete surprise!

My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out our review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Although this item isn’t very sturdy, I love the concept of a breakfast in bed table and didn’t own one, so I’ll be holding onto it for special occasions that warrant such treatment. When opened, it measures 19 ½” x 11 ½” with legs approximately 8” high. This table folds easily and collapses down for easy storage (taking the height to around 2”).

The top features 5 compartments, including 2 round ones perfect for your beverages.

The legs did keep popping out when I collapsed it, but easily snapped back in and it seemed plenty sturdy to hold food when it was locked into place.

I was recently at a few Phish shows and saw these everywhere! This is the new “fidget spinner” – a stainless steel ring that spins around most objects. It is made from 1 continuous piece of steel and folds flat. My husband was more excited to see this than my 3-year-old son and we had fun playing with it. It was a fun and surprising item to receive.

This LED task light features a 2.5 hour run time, comes with both an AC charger and a car charger, and a 360-degree swivel fold-out hook. This is the perfect addition to your tool chest or emergency supply kit! It measures 11″x1″x1″ and puts off quite a bit of light! I love the hook feature, perfect for home use (like when you need to paint the inside of a closet!

This over the cabinet door storage pouch features 9 individual pockets for fairly versatile storage. There are 2 small damage free hooks included to hang the pouch from your door, eliminating the need for tools. This is a pretty useful gadget that everyone can likely find a place to use in their homes. This pouch measures 11″ wide x 16″ high and is made from thin canvas and vinyl.

This was a weird one for me, although I will use them. These are basically just take-out containers – 10 lids and 10 bases, single compartment. With a kid in daycare, I can definitely put those to good use – but it does kind of make the whole box feel a little like someone was just cleaning out their drawer and threw these in?

The Verdict: It’s easy to be satisfied with this box because there is no implied expectation of items or value. They make no promises – so as long as the items exceed the price I pay, and are something that I’ll use I think it’s decent. It does feel a bit like a yard sale in a box, but the light alone was double the price of the box, so the rest feels like gravy.

Value Breakdown: This box costs $24.99 + free shipping and I received 5 items, making each one break down to about $5.

Colette’s subscription addiction started innocently enough with a few beauty boxes in 2013. As her life has evolved, so have her subscriptions – and some of her favorites now include boxes that cater towards lifestyle (Popsugar Must Have), pets (BarkBox), and children (Gap Outfit Box and Mac & Mia).

I don’t subscribe to this presently, but I have in the past. This is just a box full of fun! Don’t expect a whole lot and you will enjoy it. I always received items I didn’t know I needed. And yes sometimes you just get junk. But those items are just what someone else has been looking forward too, so put them on the swap site. You always get your purchase price worth. Try it, it’s fun.
